o Be it known that I, CHARLES W. BECK, a citizen of the United ,States of America, residin at Detroit, in the -county ofpWayile and tate of Michigan, have inventedy c er'- tain new and useful Improvements in Priming-Cups, of which the following is a specication, referenceY being had therein tothe accompanyingdrawings.

Y The invention relates to priming cups, andy resides in the provision of a valve-controlled priming cup in which the valve may be readily opened and closed; in theJ provi- Y therethrough;

sion of a priming cup thatvsma'y be easily and cheaply manufactured.` The inventionV further v'resides in `certain ynovel constructions, arrangementsand combinations of parts as will more fully hereinafter appear.

VD is ya 'bore leading from the chamber through the lowerY end offthe'ca'sing, and Eris a cap Vforclosing the upper Y end of the chamber C. ,This cap has an eX- ternally .threaded portion .FA engaging thei' internal threadsaof the chambered portion,

and isY provided @withv a Aflange Gr .adapted` when the' cap is in place to seat upon the t upper end ofthe casing. II isf a bo-relead- -ing through the cap to permit apri-ming uid tobe placed in thechamber C without removing the cap, and I is a Vvalve having a vportion extending'through the capand longitudinally, slidably engaging the `latt er. This valve is formedpof a short rod having its lower end conical, as indicated at J, to f forni the valve proper, and this conical end J is adapted to engage a seat K at the uppel` end of the bore D. o

rMountedupon the cap is a support in the form of spaced Standards L carrying a centric.

` seating the'valvevproper J.,

between the standards D member E with thevalve F.

In thestructure shown in Figs. 1V to-Llinclusive, the handle and eccentric are formed from aiiat sheet metal .blank,ytheyhandle o. being channel-shaped andthe eccentric coml- Vprising vbifurcations at the innerend vvofthe handle.` These bifurcations yhaveinwardlyextending .flanges which are slightly spaced `from -each other and are :adapted to engage a head Q, formed yat the upperl Vend of a stud R.` This, stud isofalesser ameter than the -memben I, providing 1 a shoulder VKS arranged.- below-and spaced from the head...
